Description

[0001] MULTI-AXIS INTERFACE FOR A TOUCH-SCREEN ENABLED WEARABLE DEVICE FOR TASK SCREEN-

This application claims priority from U.S. Serial No. 13 / 425,355, filed March 20, 2012, which application is incorporated herein by reference.

Electronic data and communication devices are constantly becoming smaller even as their information processing capacity continues to increase. Currently, portable communication devices are primarily touch screen-based user interfaces that allow these devices to be controlled by user finger gestures. Many such user interfaces are optimized for pocket-sized devices, such as mobile phones, which typically have larger screens than the 3 "or 4" diagonal. Due to their relatively large form factors, one or more mechanical buttons are typically provided to support the operation of these devices.

For example, the user interface of the iPhone TM with touch screen is based on the concept of a home screen that displays an array of available application icons. Depending on the number of applications loaded on the iPhone, the home screen may contain multiple pages of icons, with the first page being the main home screen. The user can scroll from one home screen page to another home screen page by swiping the finger horizontally across the touch screen. A tap on the icon of one of the icons opens the corresponding application. The main home screen can be accessed from any open application or other home screen page by pressing a hardware button located below the touch screen, sometimes referred to as a home button. To quickly switch between applications, a user can double-click the home button to display a row of recently used applications, so that the user scrolls to horizontal swipes and fingers You can reopen any selected application. Due to the use of horizontal swipes, the user interface of the iPhone can be described as having horizontal-based navigation. While touch-based user interfaces, such as the iPhone's user interface, can provide many benefits, these touch-based user interfaces can be used to navigate applications and enter / exit (button / Wipes, and taps. This requires the user to visually target the functions necessary to focus the device and operate the device.

As rapid advances in miniaturization occur, much smaller form factors are becoming available that make these devices wearable. The user interface for a much smaller, wearable touchscreen device with a screen size of less than 2.5 "diagonally must be a significantly different and intuitive way to operate such a small device in order to be easy to use.

Accordingly, it is desirable to provide an enhanced touch screen-based user interface that is optimized for very small wearable electronic non-dice, which reduces the need for the user to view the visual focus during operation, To access and manipulate data and graphical objects in a manner that does not require the use of mechanical buttons.

The exemplary embodiment provides methods and systems for providing a multi-axis user interface to a touch screen enabled wearable computer. Aspects of the illustrative embodiment include: providing at least two user interface areas that are displayed on the touch screen one at a time in a multi-axis user interface, each area displaying a series of one or more application screens, and a vertical navigation axis Wherein the vertical navigation axis allows the user to navigate between a plurality of user interface areas in response to vertical swipe gestures made on the touch screen and the horizontal navigation axis allows the user to navigate between a plurality of user interface areas, In response to horizontal swipe gestures across the touch screen, to navigate the application screens of the currently displayed user interface area.

According to the methods and systems disclosed herein, the use of multi-axis navigation, rather than single-axis navigation, allows a user to use a pair of vertical and horizontal finger swipes (gross) rather than precisely targeted finger taps Gross gesture) and minimal focus on the wearable computer to invoke the necessary functions.

The RAM may be used as a main memory for a microprocessor that supports execution of software routines and other optional storage functions. The non-volatile memory may store instructions and data without power and may store software routines that control the wearable computer 12 in the form of computer-readable program instructions. In one embodiment, the non-volatile memory includes flash memory. In alternate embodiments, the non-volatile memory may include any type of read-only memory (ROM).

I / O 206 may include components such as a touch screen controller, a display controller, and an optional audio chip (not shown). The touch controller may interface with the touch screen 16 to detect touches and touch locations and may send the information to the processor 202 for determination of user interactions. The display controller may access the RAM and transmit processed data, such as time and data and / or user interface, to the touch screen 16 for display. The audio chip may be coupled with optional speakers and microphones and may interface with the processors 202 to provide the audio capability of the wearable computer 12. [ Another example I / O 206 may include a USB controller.

The power manager 208 may communicate with the processor 202 and may adjust power management for the wearable computer 12 while the wearable computer 12 is drawing power from a battery (not shown) (coordination). In one embodiment, the battery may include, for example, a rechargeable, lithium ion battery, or the like.

Communication interface 210 may include components that support unidirectional or two-way wireless communication. In one embodiment, communication interface 210 is for receiving data that is primarily displayed remotely on touch screen 16 and that contains updated streaming data. However, in an alternative embodiment, in addition to transmitting data, the communication interface 216 may also support voice transmission. In one embodiment, communication interface 210 supports low and medium power radio frequency (RF) communications. The communication interface 210 includes a Wi-Fi transceiver that supports communication with a Wi-Fi network including wireless local area networks (WLAN) and WiMAX; A Bluetooth transceiver for low-power communication, such as wireless personal area networks (WPANs), according to Bluetooth protocol and the like; And passive RFID (radio-frequency identifi- cation). Other wireless options may include, for example, baseband and infrared. Communication interface 210 may also include other types of communication devices other than wireless, such as, for example, serial communications via contacts and / or USB communications.

The sensors 212 may include various sensors including a global positioning system (GPS) chip and an accelerometer (not shown). The accelerometer can be used to measure position, motion, tilt, shock, and vibration for use by the processors 202. The wearable computer 12 may be a personal computer or other device that can be used to monitor and control environmental sensors (e.g., ambient light, temperature, humidity, pressure, altitude, etc.), biological sensors (e.g., Body fat, etc.), and proximity detectors that detect the approach of an object. The wearable computer 12 may analyze and display the measured information from the sensors 212 or transmit raw or analyzed information via the communication interface 210. [

The software components executed by the processor 202 may include a gesture interpreter 214, an application launcher 216, a number of software applications 218, and an operating system 220. The operating system 220 is preferably a multitasking operating system that manages computer hardware resources and provides general services for the application 218. In one embodiment, the operating system 220 may include a Linux-based operating system for mobile devices such as Android TM . In one embodiment, the applications 218 may be written in Java format and downloaded to the wearable computer 12 from a third party Internet site or via an online application store. In one embodiment, the primary application that controls the user interface displayed on the wearable computer 12 is the application launcher 216. [

The application launcher 216 may be invoked by the operating system 220 under device startup and / or wake from a sleep mode. The application launcher 216 is continuously run during the awake mode and serves to launch other applications 218. [ In one embodiment, the default application displayed by the application launcher is a start page application 222. In one embodiment, the start page application 222 includes a dynamic watch face that displays at least the time but can display other information such as the current location (e.g., city), local weather and date. In one embodiment, all applications 218, including start page application 222, may include a plurality of screens or pages that may be displayed at any given time.

The user operates the wearable computer 12 by performing finger gestures using one or more fingers on the touch screen 16. [ In addition, a stylus may be used instead of a finger. Operating system 220 may detect finger / stylus gestures, i.e. gesture events, and send the gesture events to application launcher 216. As a result, the application launcher 216 may be referred to as a gesture interpreter 214 that determines gesture types (e.g., vertical swipe, tap, tap and hold, etc.) . The application launcher 216 may then change the user interface based on the gesture type.

Although the operating system 220, the gesture interpreter 214, and the application launcher 216 are shown as separate components, each function may be integrated into fewer or greater numbers of modules / components.

According to one embodiment, application launcher 216 is configured to display a multi-axis user interface including a plurality of user interface areas in combination of both vertical and horizontal navigation axes. The user can navigate between the user interface areas using simple finger gestures done in accordance with the orientation of the vertical and horizontal navigation axes to reduce the amount of visual focus the user requires to operate the wearable computer 12. [ do. In addition, the multi-axis user interface allows the user to operate the wearable computer 12 without the need for a mechanical button.

Figures 3a, 3b, and 3c illustrate one embodiment of a multi-axis user interface for a touch screen enabled wearable device 12. According to one embodiment, the multi-axis user interface includes a plurality of user interface areas (collectively, user interface areas 300) 300a, 300b, and 300c. The plurality of user interface areas 300 include an upper level area 300a for displaying one or more application screens of the first series, an intermediate level area 300b for displaying application screens of the second series, And a lower level area 300c for displaying the above application screens. In one embodiment, only one of the regions 300a, 300b, and 300c at a time is visible on the touch screen 12, except for embodiments in which transitions are animated between regions.

Application launcher 212 is configured to provide a combination of vertical navigation axis 310 and horizontal navigation axis 312. In one embodiment, vertical navigation axis 310 is used to allow the user to navigate between user interface areas 300a-300c in response to creating vertical swipe gestures 314 on touch screen 12 Let's do it. That is, in response to detecting a single vertical swipe gesture 314 on the currently displayed user interface level area 300, the immediately adjacent user interface level area 300 is displayed.

In contrast, the horizontal navigation axis 312 is used to display one or more application screens at each of the user interface areas 300, and the user can use the horizontal swipe gestures 316 across the touch screen, Is used to navigate between application screens in the displayed user interface area. In response to detecting a single horizontal swipe gesture 316 on the currently displayed application screen of a particular user interface level area 300, the immediately adjacent application screen of the user interface level area 300 is displayed.

In one embodiment, during vertical navigation between the user interface areas 300, the user interface that the user has reached the high-level area 300a or the low-level area 300c may be reversed in order for the user to return to the previous level A vertical user swipe 314 is performed. In an alternative embodiment, continuous vertical scrolling is possible through the user interface areas 300a-300c such that the user interface is configured to create a circular queue of user interface areas 300a-300c .

In one embodiment, the user interface areas 300a, 300b, and 300c can be inferred to areas of the electronic map. The user places his finger on the screen,

Figure 112014100008817-pct00001
Quot; dragging "around the map in the direction of the map, for example, by finger-up movement to drag the map upward with a smooth scroll movement, and revelation of previously hidden portions of the map, Gating can be done. In the current embodiments, the user does not "drag" the user interface areas to reveal the next user interface area. This is because it can require the user to watch the touch screen to guide the next area on the screen. Instead, the user navigates between areas with simple vertical swipes, e.g., up sweeps, that cause separate transitions between user interface areas 300a, 300b, and 300c. That is, the immediately adjacent area "snap" to the location and replace the previously displayed area.

FIG. 3A shows an embodiment in which the high level region 300a includes a start page application 222. FIG. The start page application 222 can display a series of one or more watch face screens 302 in response to the horizontal swipe gestures so that the user can scroll through the watch face screens 302, It is possible to select a watch face screen which becomes a default watch screen to change the appearance of the computer 12. [ In one embodiment, the start page application 222 is a displayed trivial application. In one embodiment, a single horizontal swipe gesture may cause the currently displayed watch face screen to move left or right to reveal the previous or next watch face screen. Continuous scrolling creates a circular queue of watch face screens 302 and can be returned to the original displayed watch face screen. A selection-type gesture, such as a tap or a double tap, may select the currently displayed watch face to be the default start page application 222. In alternate embodiments, the start page application 222 may include other information type displays that indicate a social network feed, weather, and so on.

3B may include an application screen 304 on a wearable computer 12 that displays a series of one or more application icons 306 in response to user swipes, It is possible to select an icon for scrolling and opening through the application icons 306. [ In one embodiment, each application icon 306 is displayed on its own screen. In response to detecting the horizontal user swipe gestures made on the touch screen 12, while displaying the mid-level area 300b, the application icons 306 are sequentially displayed. In one embodiment, only one horizontal swipe gesture can cause the currently displayed application icon to be shifted left or right to reveal the previous or next application icon. Continuous scrolling creates a circular queue of application icon screens and can return to the original displayed application icon screen. A select-type gesture, such as a tap or swipe, may open an application corresponding to the currently displayed application icon 306.

3C illustrates that the lower level region 300c may include a series of one or more application screens 308 for an open application. Each application displayed by the application launcher 216 may have its own set of application screens 308. The series of application screens 308 may be displayed in response to detecting that the user is performing horizontal swipe gestures that move the currently displayed application screen left or right to reveal the previous or next application screen 308 have.

In the embodiment shown in Figures 3a, 3b, and 3c, rather than implementing a series of user interface areas and application screens as a circular queue, a series of user interface areas and application screens may be scrolled past the first or last panel , It may be implemented as a linked list of screens or panels that terminate on each end. In this embodiment, if the user attempts a flip through the first panel or last panel with a swipe gesture (and thus there is no panel to flip), the currently displayed panel is displayed when the user's finger begins to move It can start to move, but when the user's finger is lifted from the touch screen, it returns to its original position. In one embodiment, the flip or return animation includes a simulated deceleration. For example, as the panel approaches the final stopping point, the panel decelerates to stop rather than stop suddenly.

In this embodiment, the user may switch from one application to another, which first uses the upswipe to return to the application launcher screen 304 and, for example, , And then executing a downswipe, for example, to enter an application screen 308 of another application. In an alternative embodiment, instead of the user having to move up, left / right and down to change applications, the user may continue to sweep horizontal swips in the lower level areas 300c until the screens for the desired application are shown Can be executed.

Further, in another embodiment, the multi-axis user interface may be implemented with two user interface areas instead of three user interface areas. In this embodiment, the start page application may be implemented as part of the application launcher screen 304 where the intermediate level area 300b is at a higher level. The user may then scroll from the start page application to any other application in the application launcher screen 304 using horizontal swipes.

4 is a flow diagram illustrating in greater detail a process for providing a multi-axis user interface for a wearable computer. In one embodiment, the process is performed by at least one user interface component running on the processor 202, including any combination of the gesture interpreter 214, application launcher 216, and operating system 220 .

When the wearable computer 12 starts up or wakes from sleep, the process can start by displaying the start page application on the touch screen 16 (block < RTI ID = 0.0 > 400). As described above, the start page application 22 may display a series of one or more watch paces. In one embodiment, the user may perform horizontal swipe gestures across the currently displayed watch face to scroll horizontally through a series of watch faces. In another embodiment, in order to prevent accidental scrolling, a user may select an access-type gesture, for example a tab or a tab and hold gesture, ≪ / RTI >

 5 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment in which the start page application 500 includes a watch face. In accordance with one embodiment, the user may view different watch paces from the start page application 500 in response to the left and right horizontal swipe gestures 502. [ In one embodiment, the horizontal swipes (e.g., left and right) 502 cause one watch face to replace the currently displayed watch face on the touch screen 16 with the previous or next watch face . In this embodiment, one watch face includes the entire page and fills the display of the touch screen 16. However, the one watch face may be configured to display partial views of adjacent watch faces.

 Referring back to FIG. 4, in response to detecting a vertical swipe gesture in a first direction (e.g., up direction) on the touch screen while the start page application is being displayed, And transitioned along the vertical axis 310 from the upper level area to the middle level area for display (block 402).

6 is a diagram illustrating vertical transitions from the start page application 500 on the upper level area to the application launcher screen 602 on the middle level area in response to the vertical swipe gesture 604. [ In this case, an application launcher screen 602 is shown that displays a single application icon for a weather application. In one embodiment, a single finger up swipe (or down swipe) on the start page application 500 causes the application launcher screen 602 to send a start page application 500 on the touch screen 16 It can be easily replaced.

Referring back to FIG. 4, in response to detecting a horizontal swipe gesture across the touch screen while the application launcher screen is being displayed, application icons are scrolled horizontally across the touch screen for user selection (block 404).

7 is a diagram illustrating horizontal scrolling of a different application icon 700 from an application launcher in response to left and right horizontal swipe gestures 702. FIG. In one embodiment, a horizontal swipe (e.g., left or right) may cause the application launcher 216 to replace the current application icon on the touch screen 16 with the previous or next application icon. In this embodiment, one application icon 700 includes the entire page and fills the display of the touch screen 16. [ However, the icon 700 may be configured to display partial views of adjacent watch faces.

4, in response to detecting a vertical swipe gesture in a second direction (e.g., down direction) while the application launcher screen 602 is being displayed, 300b to the high level area 300a and displays the start page application 500 again (block 406).

In response to detecting the at least one of the tabs on the touch screen or the vertical swipe gesture in the first direction while the application launcher screen is being displayed, the application is opened and the user interface is displayed in the middle Transition from the level area to the lower level area (block 408).

8 is a diagram illustrating vertical transitions from the application launcher screen 602 on the mid-level area to the application screen 800 on the lower level area, in response to a tap or vertical swipe gesture 802. FIG. In one embodiment, the tab or vertical swipe gesture 802 opens the application by displaying an application screen 800 that can simply replace the selected application icon 700. For example, while the application launcher screen 602 is being displayed, a single finger tap or upswipe on the touch screen may cause the application screen 800 corresponding to the application icon 700 to be displayed.

9 is a diagram showing an exemplary application screen 800 of a weather application opened in response to a user selecting the weather application icon 700 on the application launcher screen 602. [ The weather application 800 includes a number of pages, where each page can represent a current weather in a different city. The user may scroll from city to city using the horizontal swipe gesture 802. [ In response to the user performing a vertical swipe 804, for example, an upswipe, the page is pulled up to represent the weather for each day of the week. In one embodiment, each day of the week may be viewed on its own "mini-panel" 806 (e.g., a rectangular subdivision of the page). The mini panels 806 may occupy the lower portion of the application screen 800, or may be implemented as separate pages.

Referring again to FIG. 4, in response to detecting a vertical swipe gesture in a second direction (e.g., down) on the touch screen while the application screen 800 is being displayed, Transition to midlevel 300b, and displays the application launcher screen 602 again (block 410).

In an alternative embodiment, in response to detecting a universal gesture on either the application launcher screen or the application screen for an open application, the home screen is displayed again. A typical gesture can be a gesture mapped to the same function, no matter what level of the user interface or what area is displayed. One example of this common gesture can be a two-finger vertical swipe. When detected by an application launcher or application, the application launcher causes a redisplay of the start page application, e.g., watch face.

10 illustrates a vertical transition from an exemplary weather application screen 800 to a start page application in response to a common gesture 1000, such as a double finger swipe. Here, the user causes the user interface to jump from the lower level area 300c to the upper level area 300a with one movement.

Referring again to Figures 3A-3C, the vertical scrolling between the screens of the user interface areas 300a-300c and the interaction between the watch face screens 302, the application icons 306, and the application screens 308 Horizontal scrolling has been described as a separate step in which one screen is replaced with another screen during a scrolling transition. In an alternative embodiment, scrolling may be implemented with flick transition animations in which transitions between screens are smoothly animated, such that the currently displayed screen dynamically scrolls off the display On the other hand, the next screen is shown to dynamically scroll onto the display.

In one embodiment, when the gesture manager 214 (or equivalent code) detects that the user's finger begins to slide vertically or horizontally, the application launcher 216 causes the screen to move the spring- To move up / down or left / right with finger movements in a spring-loaded fashion. If the gesture manager determines that the finger has moved some minimum distance, e.g., 1 cm, and then is lifted from the touch screen, the application launcher 216 may move the finger in the same direction, e.g., Immediately display a quick animation of the screen flipping right. In one embodiment, the flipping animation may be implemented using a Hyperspace animation technique as shown in the Android "APIDemos ". If the user has not moved the minimum distance before the finger is lifted, the gesture manager determines that the user has not attempted to "flick". In this case, the screen appears to fall back to its original position. Transition animation may be aesthetically pleasing, but the separate transition may consume less battery power.

According to another aspect of the exemplary embodiments, the edge portion of the touch screen 16 may be designated for fast horizontal scrolling. If the user begins to slide a finger along a designated lower or upper edge of the touch screen 16, the system may consider it a "fast scroll " event and, in response, The flip begins quickly through the series.

11 is a block diagram illustrating fast-scroll portions on the touch screen 16. The surface of the touch screen 16 may be divided into a general swipe zone 1100 and two accelerated scrolling zones 1102 along the side edges. The gesture interpreter application launcher 216 may be configured to detect a finger sliding horizontally at any point within the general swipe zone 1100 to display the next screen in a series of screens. The detection of other gestures in the accelerated scrolling zones 1102 may cause a continuous and fast display of the screens in the series of screens. For example, the taps and holds of the fingers in the accelerated scrolling zones 1102 cause a continuous, increased accelerated progression through the list of screens, while a single tab advances the screens one at a time.

In another embodiment, when a user's finger remains on the acceleration scrolling zones, a progress indicator 1104 may be displayed on the touch screen 16 showing the current position 1106 as a series of screens . If the finger is fast-scrolling along one edge (e.g., bottom or top), the progress indicator 1104 may be displayed along the other edge.
